Prophecy of Hope Print E-mail
A dark sorcerer rules the tamah posing as a god. He and his race have enslaved millions, forcing them into servitude of the great Tasions—a powerful race of aliens with ten times the strength, speed, and agility of humans. It has been a thousand years since Volotron came into power, and since then, he and his followers have been unchallenged.

Kristena was born with a terrible power, but after many years has learned with meditation and willpower to suppress it deep within her. Only in times of absolute danger or fear does it manifest so strongly and Kristena becomes a danger to all those around her. For years she has lived trying to hide her power, ashamed and frightened of what people would think if they discovered her secret.

Fate intervenes and she finds herself pulled through a wormhole to the deepest reaches of space and into the midst of an ancient prophecy. Now Kristena must use her power to free a universe of slavery. Kristena doubts herself and the prophecy. If Volotron hasn’t been defeated in a thousand years, how could she even think to defeat someone so powerful?

Someone is pulling the strings; putting things into place; preparing Kristena and her small group of followers for what is to come. Someone Kristena would never suspect.
Christopher Sillett is a black belt in Kyokoshin Karate at the Cooma Martial Arts Centre under the training of Sensei Jim Macdonald and Sempai Fiona Macdonald. He is also a part time instructor with Sempai Robert Hedger at the Berridale dojo. He is the second eldest in a large family of five brothers and three sisters, plus four foster kids. From a young age, he has always been interested in stories. Over time, his interest increased and he started writing his own story at the age of fifteen, due to the suggestions of his mother, father, and other family members, and now ten years later after numerous re-writes and painstaking editing, he has just published his first novel, Prophecy of Hope, Book 1. He says it is the first book in a seven-part science fiction / fantasy saga.

For most of his life, Christopher was homeschooled. When he turned fifteen, he took on a nearly full time job and had to stop writing because of the lack of time he had to do it. Then years later when he was twenty-two, he decided he had had enough and left his job and went to the University of Canberra to pursue his dream of becoming a writer. Whilst at University, he wrote as often as he could, but still found it hard to find the time he really needed to write a novel. So when Uni finished, he immediately dove back into writing, working only a couple of days a week so he would have as much time as he could to write, and every spare moment he had was spent on writing. Christopher said, “Writing two to three thousand words a day can be very tiresome and mentally exhausting, but to get where I want to be, this is what I have to do.” But not only did Christopher write the novel, he drew his own pictures and designed the front and back cover of the book.

Some of the places the book is already available is online at www.trafford.com, www.amazon.com, and www.barnesandnoble.com, and can be ordered through Monaro Books and Music.
